Tiny little flower
You caught me surprise
I most certainly and utterly
Could not believe my very own eyes
In the midst of darkness
Grief and despair
Death and destruction
The desert of all places
You made it.
Without a sea of familiar faces
You reminded me of me somehow
Your strive to survive is also mine
The many circumstances that made you possible are beautiful
You kept my heart alive
And brought back the best things in life that will always be free
Hope, love, and beauty
Back inside of me
In the middle of war
